Nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes like this from time to time. I remember I was playing a pool comp a few years ago, in the final, a few easy balls to pot and I would have won the tournament. I had to bridge over another ball... a slight twitch because of nerves and I touched the ball I was bridging over, foul was called and I had to sit and watch my opponent clear the table and win the match. I'm still kicking myself over it!

@englishman1960 I think we can agree that Jimmy White is the biggest bottler of all time, 6 WC finals and all defeats. Its a shame cos he was an awesome player, a crowd pleaser, and a super nice guy. I think everybody loved his image, the jack the lad lifestyle of hardcore drinking/socialising, made Jimmy the coolest guy on circuit, and probably why he was so popular. Jimmy is a legend, he was just very unlucky and suffered badly from nerves in big games. Awesome guy!
HA HA, and this is the guy iam listening to right now commentating on tv on how bad the players are performing.

Along with John Virgo,Willie Thorne was the biggest bottler of all time.How appropriate that the two of them regularly commentate together and criticise other players for playing a bad shot.
